How many students are in each grade? And how many 6th graders do you think they'll have next year?
Perfect, that`s just what
they were looking for.
0:00
Also, usually you'd get to go
home early on your second day.
0:02
But unfortunately they just got
a call from the fire department and
0:06
they`re worried about
the school`s capacity numbers.
0:09
They`re fine for this year but
0:11
the fire department thinks it`s possible
there will be too many students next year.
0:13
Could you find out how many
students are in each grade?
0:18
And then use that data to predict how many
sixth graders they'll have next year?
0:20
To figure out how many
students are in each grade,
0:25
we'll need to use our
first GROUP BY clause.
0:28
So let's start by selecting
everything from STUDENTS.
0:30
And luckily we've got a GRADE column.
0:37
So let's GROUP BY GRADE.
0:39
And let's change from selecting
everything to counting what we
0:43
get in the results as well as
telling us which grade is selected.
0:48
So let's do GRADE, COUNT1), or COUNT(*) or
whatever count you feel like using.
0:53
And if we run this, there we go.
0:57
So now we need to figure out how many
sixth graders they'll have next year.
1:01
Okay, so from grade 8 to 7,
it looks like this goes up 24 students.
1:04
And then from 7 to 6, that's 27 students.
1:11
So 24 to 27.
1:18
And then maybe the next sixth
graders will be plus 30, so
1:21
let's say that the next sixth grade class
is probably gonna have about 220 students.
